I agree with aStRaLgOd, although the Intel Pentium 4 Advert is equally as bad. Both the normal alien one in the spaceship and the mobile P4 advert where the alien is floating in space.

Very bad, they should have stuck to the blue men...

The absolute WORST computer-related commercial I've ever seen has to be for a company called the "Buck A Day Company."

They are trying to sell this IBM NetVista PC (making it out to sound oh so powerful with it's 64 MB of RAM and 20 GB HDD) to people for only a dollar a day.

What's worse? The commercial is played to the song "Better off Alone" by Alice Deejay, however it's not the official song. They changed the lyrics to fit their products, asking consumers "do they really want a clone..."

If you haven't seen it, just watch any major Canadian TV network (such as CityTV, Space, CBC or CTV) and you'll see it <:)

It has to be one of the WORST commercials ever!

Same Here, Also I heard that if you have a DELL computer and you try to change the OS your warranty voids.

That's why DELL sucks the most ;)

Nope. That is incorrect. I got a Dell about 18 months ago with a 3-year warranty, and I upgraded it from Windows 98 to Windows XP without a hitch. One time I had a problem, so I called them up. They asked me what OS I'm using. I said Windows XP. They just transferred me to their Windows XP tech support, which fixed it in about 10 minutes. No problems about warranty. Also, I had to get it serviced not too long ago because my motherboard got messed up. I called Dell, they sent a technician over two days later, and he replaced my motherboard and upgraded my processor for free. The guy even checked it for me to make sure it is working properly.

Now I could've done most of this by myself, but since it is still under warranty, I could have this done for free. I called them up to get a technician over, and I just kicked back, opened a can of beer, and told him, "Get to it, buddy." :p

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it

      i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
